Zenith | |
| Zenith (Comic Book) | comment |
A Super Hero Deconstruction comic created by Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell. Zenith follows teen superhuman turned pop star Robert MacDowell, more popularly known as his stage name "Zenith" or "Superbrat" to the press. Superficial and spoilt rotten, Zenith is recruited by the previous generation of superhumans to fight against the Lloigor. Unfortunately, as cowardly and inept as he is, Zenith is mostly reduced to being a supporting character in his own comic.The series was initially published in 2000 AD, spanning four "phases" between 1987 and 1992. Phase III is particularly notable, since it takes place across The Multiverse and featured a multitude of classic British superheroes, both named and ersatz. An incomplete list can be found here. | |

Dangerous Drowsiness | |
| Zenith (Comic Book) / int_12113808 | comment |
Dangerous Drowsiness: Dr Michael Peyne is cursed with an accelerating case of Merlin Sickness by the victorious Lloigor, and though he initially feels energized by his newfound youth, his Apocalyptic Log soon mentions how tired he's started to feel as he re-enters his childhood. Eventually reduced to scrawling badly-spelled notes in a barely-legible scrawl, a very young Peyne admits that he's too tired to write anymore and needs to lie down. When Ruby finally arrives to say goodbye, he's little more than a baby sleeping under his adult-sized shirt, and soon succumbs to Death by De-aging. | |

Unnervingly Heartwarming | |
| Zenith (Comic Book) / int_26e0156d | comment |
Unnervingly Heartwarming: In his final moments before his Death By De Aging, Dr Peyne visited by Ruby Fox, Mouth of Sauron to the Lloigor; she apparently wanted to say goodbye, and even appears to comfort the baby that he's become. This might seem heartwarming at first... but even if this moment wasn't delivered by a stark-naked Humanoid Abomination, it swiftly becomes clear that she's just gloating over a dying victim, her tone swinging from condescendingly soothing to smugly sadistic. The scene ends with Ruby throwing baby Payne into the air, where he shrinks into a fetus and vanishes. | |

Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Surprisingly for a Grant Morrison comic. In volume 3, Zenith is propositioned by Metamaid, an attractive superheroine. After Zenith finds out, he passes the buck to the naive young superhero TNT Tom by suggesting that he and Metamaid might like to get acquainted. At least it apparently ends happily for both parties. | |

After the End: Phase IV's framing device is set during a period when the world has essentially been consumed by alien monsters, who are now gestating in the sun. One human being is still alive, writing a pointless memoir of the final days of the universe. Subverted, as it's not actually our universe. | |

Brilliant, but Lazy: Zenith. He's pound for pound one of the strongest superhumans in the series in terms of raw power and his mental faculties aren't wanting either; Peter St John, the comic's master manipulator, outright praises Zenith for more or less foreseeing the social media scene and expresses some disquiet that he sees through his illusions and schemes that manage to fool people "smarter" than him. | |

Stable Time Loop: Phase IV reveals the entire series is one with the revelation that the Lloigor are actually Lux, Spook, Voltage, DJ Chill, Blaze and her son with Zenith. The six transform themselves into the all powerful Lloigor and explain that the source of superpowers for Alternative 230 came from them as their powers means they've ascended time itself, meaning they created themselves. However despite what they thought, St. John was able to trap them in a pocket dimension which is seemingly the world the Lloigor were trapped in all along, presumably having forgotten their original lives by the time Phase I occurs. | |

Intergenerational Friendship: Many of Zenith's most notable companions are of a much older pedigree than his including Acid Archie, Peter St. John, Eddie Mcphail, and Big Ben.

| Zenith (Comic Book) / int_66ea7e5c | comment |
Brought Down to Normal: Zenith's powers are tied to his biorhythms, meaning they wax and wane on a roughly monthly schedule. At certain times, he's essentially powerless. Peyne and Wallace attempt to weaponize this against Zenith, by working out his biorhythm chart according to his birthdate and kidnapping him when he's at his weakest. Unfortunately for them, that isn't Zenith's actual birthdate. He told the press he was born on January 8th because it's Elvis Presley's birthday. | |

Taunting the Transformed: In Phase IV, the victorious Lloigor spare Dr Michael Peyne from the apocalypse, instead condemning him to a slow Death by De-aging so he has time to witness all the horror they've unleashed. Once Peyne has regressed to infancy, Ruby arrives to mockingly bid him farewell, cradling him in her arms and cooing over all the memories that he can no longer make sense of, before taking him out onto the balcony to show him the world he helped create. She then throws him into the air, where he shrinks into a fetus, then an embryo, and then vanishes. | |

Posthuman Nudism: Phase IV belatedly reveals that the Lloigor were once human, more specifically, the superhero team Cloud 9. When the newly-ascended Lloigor are first witnessed emerging from the Black Sun, they the form of stark naked, glowing, angelic recreations of their human selves, albeit with no hair, no pupils, no nipples and no genitals; however, they soon take on their Lovecraftian forms. In the aftermath, their representative Ruby Fox will occasionally revert to humanoid form in order to give the doomed Michael Peyne a comprehensible face to talk to in his final days - but even then, that doesn't extend to wearing clothes. | |

Wandering Walk of Madness | |
| Zenith (Comic Book) / int_d41a6617 | comment |
Wandering Walk of Madness: During Phase IV, Dr Michael Peyne is left as the last survivor of the Lloigors' conquest of Earth, condemned to live out the rest of his days stranded in their hellish capital city with an accelerating case of Merlin Sickness. With nothing else to do but wait to die, Peyne fills his days with meaningless obsessions: apart from writing an Apocalyptic Log that he knows that nobody will ever read, he also begins compulsively walking through the city, a nightmarish experience - but one that he can't bear to stop because it's all he has left. The younger he gets, the walks get progressively easier, but he draws progressively closer to losing his adult mind. | |

Dreadful Musician | |
| Zenith (Comic Book) / int_d4e9de59 | comment |
Dreadful Musician: Much of Zenith's music has been described as "cynically marketed, mass-market pap without an ounce of credibility or invention" by his detractors. | |

Only the Worthy May Pass: Thunderbolt Jaxon's belt only works "for the purposes of right and justice". It doesn't work because of the Unwitting Pawn plan. | |

| Zenith (Comic Book) / int_dc2c2968 | comment |
Superpowerful Genetics: This is what makes Zenith unique compared to other superhumans, he was born with his powers rather than being given them through the Maximan serum. | |

Old Shame | |
| Zenith (Comic Book) / int_e6c88e42 | comment |
Old Shame: In-Universe: Peter St John seems genuinely ashamed of having been the super-hippy Mandala in the '60s; Being such a prominent anti-establishment figure would indeed have been a very unusual history for a Conservative minister in the Margaret Thatcher era of Real Life, but given that absolutely everybody knows he was Mandala, and that the press never seem to mention him without pointing it out, it goes far beyond fear of public embarrassment, becoming something much more personal, as if he can't quite believe he ever behaved that way. | |

Evil Twin: Zenith's counterpart Vertex from Alternative 300. Of course, since Zenith is shallow and unpleasant while Vertex is amicable and well-mannered, this means Vertex is the good twin. | |
